Walkthrough: Act 7 The Airship

Walk through the green door. At the entrance to the iron works, to the right side of the screen there will be a hidden magical box. Inside will be Healing Roots. Run towards the screen then up the ladder. At the top of the ladder will be a pipe walkway. There will be four pipe-ways you can take from here.

The first, makes you jump several platforms and leads you to the next room.

The second pipe-way gives you the option to head towards or away from the camera. If you head away from the camera there will be a red box blocked by two steam pipes. Destroy the pipes, open the box, and take your Pill Medicine.

If you head towards the camera on the second pipe-way you'll come to a puzzle box (6, 7, 1, 12, 2 = Yellow Crystal.) at the top of a ladder.

The third and farthest pipe-way will have you leap over fire and end with a red box containing Herb.

Take the first pipe-way, go up the ladder, and through the door leading to the next room.

You are now back in the room with the two giant statues and the silver goddess statue. Oyu will be waiting in this room. Head for the silver goddess statue and use the Fourth Orb of Power.

As the statue rises from the ground, masked demons fall from the sky. Toukichiro runs down a scaffolding laughing at Jubei and Oyu. Underneath the statue a giant robot turtle peeks his head out of the ground. Stunned our two heroes watch as the Mecha Gamera flies out of the room, through the wall, into the wild blue yonder.

Jubei and Oyu search desperately for a means of pursuit. Running into one room they discover a huge mechanical dragonfly.

Next to you will be a save shrine. Save now. Oyu will be next to you. Move towards the dragonfly. When the gate appears in front of you rotate the left analog clockwise and the right analog counter-clockwise. The door will open and you'll be off!

When you reach the airship, Jubei will jump inside. Move straight ahead. There you will find a save shrine. Follow the path past the door to the puzzle box (5, 2, 6, 8, 11, 3 = Blue Crystal.) Run to the right and pick up the Demon Medicine shining at the end of the hall.

Go through the door. You are now in the ammunitions room. Use the Earth magic. This will kill everyone in the room, even those pesky archers. I hate archers. Move towards the camera and keep doing so until you see the barrels. Smash the barrels and open the red box behind them. Take your Pill Medicine and head towards the camera again. Keep walking towards the camera and you'll find yourself at another door. Next to the door, if you've got your green necklace equipped, will be a hidden magical box, with Pill Medicine. Go through the door.

In this room there will be box robots being moved around on conveyer belts. Use the Earth Combo and send them straight to the scrap heap! Run down the conveyer belts up to the door.

Toukichiro will be piloting the turtle. As you kill the guards attacking you Toukichiro will run away. Jubei instructs Oyu to pilot as he tracks down Toukichiro. Jubei finds him too late as he jumps out of the escape hatch. Jubei runs back to Oyu.

Push the blinking red button and Gamera will fire its missiles disabling most of Nobunaga's army. The giant turtle crashes into the castle. Jubei jumps to the castle alone as he watches Oyu fall into the plummeting airship.

Right next to your foot will be a hidden magical box (if you have the green necklace that is.) Inside you will find a Pill Medicine. Run towards the screen and you will see a door to the left and a save shrine down the hall to the right. Move past the save shrine and the path will dead end. On the ground will be Toukichiro's Blue Notepad. Go back to the door.

Kill the enemies in the next room, a couple of masked demons and demon samurai, and move into the next room. In the next room there will be a pole guard. Vanquish him and run past the steps. Hiding next to the steps on the left hand side will be a box with Pill Medicine. Run up the steps.

Make your way around the building past all of the masked demons and the pole guard. On your right there will be a door leading inside the building. As you enter the building you'll see a red box containing the Purple Thorn, on the left side of the screen and sitting on a bench on the right a Blue Scroll (one of the 18 beautiful brush paintings.) Move towards the screen and there will be a spirit shrine. Move to the top right corner and there will be small hallway. Follow the hallway and climb the ladder to the roof.

On the roof you will fight the Ultimate Skull Eye. He will send his minion skull eyes at you. The Twin Wind Magic is extremely useful here. After you kill all of his minions he will swoop down on you. Here I would suggest using the Lightning Magic and it should take him out of the game. When you defeat the Ultimate Skull Eye he will leave you the Golden Scale. Place the golden scale on the golden fish farthest from the camera. The seal blocking the way to the final boss area will disappear.

Run to the bridge leading into the final boss area. If you take a right it will take you to a wooden door. When you enter the closet sized room there will be a glowing purple light on the floor. Use the Purple Thorn.

(This path to the Flame Sword is optional)

Head down the portal into the Purple Dark Realm. This Dark Realm has 20 levels and no items to collect along the way. After killing everything on the 20th level you will be rewarded with the Flame Sword. Inspect the ground of where you pulled the Flame Sword. You will drive the sword back opening another portal. Head down the portal. On the 21st level you will find a red box containing Leather Wear. I'm not sure how to equip this so leave it for now. Go back to the surface.

Cross the bridge to the final area. There you will find a locked door in the center of the room, a save shrine and a ladder. Save now. Climb the ladder.

"I'm back, Jubei!" A voice booms from the room. "This voice, Gingafatsu where are you!" Jubei yells back. Gingafatsu replies, "Oh yes, and this time you're not getting past me!"

Gingafatsu Boss Battle (3)

Use the Earth Combo. This will stun Gingafatsu, so he will be unable to counterattack. Keep it up until Gingafatsu splits into his two forms. His legs will run around the ground, ignore this for now. And his torso will fly around trying to smash you. Focus your attack on the flying part of Gingafatsu. Break out all of your magic. Make sure you hit with Lighting and Earth because they inflict the most damage. After you hit with these attacks make sure to absorb any blue and yellow spirits flying around. If you run out of magic, switch to your rifle and shoot your way to victory.

Upon your victory Gingafatsu will fall into the pit. He will leave you with the Fifth Orb of Power Make sure to suck up all of the spirits he leaves. Head back down the ladder. Save.

Go to the door in the middle of the room. Head to the column on the left and place the fifth orb of power inside it.

Oyu will appear on in the room. Jubei runs to her. As they embrace Jubei tells her she must go. She must have nothing to do with Nobunaga's death.

Now depending on if you traded enough with Oyu determines what happens next. If you have Jubei will kiss Oyu. If not Jubei will leave Oyu with just a "Farewell."

Jubei enters the elevator. He arrives at the lair of Nobunaga. "Nobunaga! In exchange for my friends and family I will kill you!"

Nobunaga Boss Battle

Start off using Lighting Magic. Then switch it to the other magic, Earth, Ice, and Flame. Save your Wind magic for when Nobunaga takes to the sky. At this point he will do several attacks. He can send a green tornado at you, five balls of lightning, and several sword moves. They include a spinning drill attack and a down thrust that sends a purple wave along the ground.

The technique to get him down is to use your rifle. Scoring hits with the gun will cause Nobunaga to fall slightly. Keep it up until he's right next to the ground and hit him with lighting magic. If you ran out of magic, use your magic replenishing items that you've been collecting all this time.

After several hits Nobunaga will land on the circle at the end of the room. Keep hitting him. It won't hurt him, but it will cause him to lose some souls. He will return to the air so get out your rifle and repeat the process. You will need to heal a lot so if you don't have any healing items you might as well start the whole game over. But make sure to save several full heals because once you're done with this version of Nobunaga there's still one left.

The final blow will send Nobunaga crashing down. Jubei watches as several red eyes dart out of Nobunaga's mouth into the golden skull machine. The machine rises and Jubei gets sucked into the ground. Jubei finds himself in the other realm facing off against the huge golden demon lord. He looks to the sky and calls on the heavens and his own demon blood, "Grant me the power!" Jubei transforms into the "Onimusha" and the battle begins.

Golden Demon Lord Boss Battle.

There are several pieces you need to destroy in order to defeat the Demon Lord. Two targets in the knees, one in each shoulder, and one in the head. He will attack several ways:

Triple Fire Ball - these small projectiles will home in on your location. Use your demon blaster to destroy them or attempt to dodge them.

Eye Beams - two red beams of light that will either zigzag back and forth along the ground or focus on your location. Sidestep the beams.

Flamethrower - The skull on his crotch will open its mouth and spew a tongue of flame. Take several steps away from the Demon Lord to avoid this.

Walking Forward - keep away from his legs.

In the beginning stick close to the golden demon lord always shooting your demon blaster. Once you've destroyed all the targets except for the head, the demon lord will change his attack pattern. Instead of doing the four attacks above he will perform a two new ones:

Sad Mask - these masks will fly around you, turn around revealing a spiky underside, and charge you. You can either shoot them or dodge them.

Happy Mask - masks will fly out of the Demon Lord and form a barrier in front of him. Shoot through the barrier. (I realize this is not an attack, but it's annoying nonetheless.)

Move away from the Demon King. You need room to avoid or destroy the masks. Once you've finished off the head the Demon King will fall. Congratulations you've just beat Onimusha 2!!
